So I am to give my CAT this October and I have a small doubt.

Do we need to apply for various B-School before the CAT score is obtained or after we get the score cards? I mean is the applying part similar to GRE? GRE students obviously apply for various Universities based on their GRE score. Is it the same for CAT too or do we get to choose the Universities? All the deadlines are approaching and I have absolutely no idea how and where to apply. Please clear this one query of mine 😞
